It looks like Vulkan is going to be the best-supported common platform for compute, at least for modern hardware. They need compute in the standard to support the core graphics use case anyway, so we might as well use that same support for general-purpose tasks. On Apple platforms, MoltenVk can implement Vulkan support on top of Metal

Yes, a common GPU compute platform would be great! Even if Apple isn't going to support it being able to handle all of it in Vulkan would be nice. Maybe OpenCL can be implemented on top of that.
